Solar Eclipse in Leo: Faith and Hope!

There is a solar eclipse taking place on August 11, 2018, at 9:57pm, GMT, in the
creative, generous and impressive sign of Leo. It is the fifth and last eclipse
of the year. It follows the lunar eclipse of July 27 and announces a curtain
closure for the long hot summer about which we have already talked. As we have
rewritten, although fear surrounds eclipses, one needs to understand that they
are the culmination of processes that were being prepared a long time ago,
often up to six months earlier. Given that, during an eclipse, one of the two
Lights (Sun / Moon) "goes out", eclipses signify the end of a major
chapter in our lives and the beginning of a new one.

This is all the more true of solar eclipses since such an eclipse is at the
same time a New Moon, so the new beginning is a given. In particular, the new beginning
marked by a solar eclipse will refer to solar issues such as our purpose in
life and creativity, as well as our relationships with important men such as the
father, boss or partner/husband. Furthermore, because an eclipse can be
perceived as a shortage, there may be a sense of lack surrounding the
above-mentioned issues or relationships that will mobilize one into action.

Presently, with Lights being in Leo, the eclipse seems to culminate procedures,
to highlight shortcomings and to close / open chapters regarding creative and
recreational issues, as well as issues that have to do with self-confidence and
the need for making an impression or for enjoying luxury. In fact, the tightest
aspect that the Lights form is a quincunx with Pluto, that is, with the same
planet with which they formed the tightest aspect in the previous solar eclipse
of July 13. It seems, therefore, that we are now called upon to find
intelligent ways to adapt to the events marked by that eclipse.

We wrote back then that
the July 13 eclipse led many to "confront with inner fears, obsessions and
power games" and that it caused “the feeling that one’s security is under
threat". Unfortunately, at a global level, the high temperatures,
heatwaves and fires this summer seem to have severely threatened the feeling of
security provided by Earth, our own home, and now we are called upon to find
ways to adapt to the new reality.

In addition, the
current eclipse with seven retrograde planets and the Lights separating from a
conjunction with retrograde Mercury reflects the multitude of pending issues
along with the slow reactions of many. This may be so because of the nostalgic
thoughts for days gone by, thoughts, however, that one needs to distance themselves
from. Besides, any financial and emotional difficulties or wounds are gone now,
as evidenced by the separating T-Square between Venus, Saturn and Chiron. What
is left is the two applying trines, those of Jupiter-Neptune and Saturn-Uranus.
In other words, what is left is more faith and hope for a future with strong
foundations that allows for the emergence of unexpectedly new horizons, despite
the sense of “walking on eggshells”, a feeling that may still be true for many
under the Mars-Uranus square. In any case, we wish you enjoy the rest of the summer!

Each astrology session costs 50 euro. An astrology session usually covers a personality reading, as well as some indications of what lies ahead for the next 12 months or so. For those who wish to go into more detail, there is the possibility of booking two separate sessions at the rate of 80 euro. The first session focuses exclusively on your strengths and weaknesses as revealed by your chart, and the second session focuses exclusively on future tendencies for the following 12 months or so. For those who so wish, sessions can take place on a much more regular basis (e.g., twice a month) at lower rates. These sessions provide psychological support and counseling for coping with several issues (e.g., mourning, love disappointments, marital problems) and are targeted to everyone, regardless of whether they wish to achieve greater self-knowledge by becoming more familiar with their astrological birth chart.
